Moore, who has twice lost his position as the state’s top judge, led odd by 55 percent to 45 percent, with all 67 counties reporting, according to Reuters.

Robert Bentley to the seat vacated by former Alabama Sen.
Moore is still nearly certain to beat Jones.
Moore’s uncompromising style could bring a new level of turbulence to the Senate, where Republicans have struggled to reach consensus on tax and spending issues and have failed repeatedly to roll back Obamacare.
Trump said he’d never met Moore. And I think that when he gets to know me, that he will understand that I do support a very conservative agenda for this country.
